JDP Weekend Recap – Week 32, 2012

Hello Japan Daily Press readers new and old! Another week is over, so let’s recover some of the stories from Sunday, August 5th, through Saturday, August 11th, shall we? Also, we’re getting close to our 200th follower on Twitter, will it be you? You can find us on Facebook as well, where we post some highlighted stories everyday for you to share and comment on. Let us know what you think or if there is something else you’d like to see covered!

As you’d expect, there’s been a lot of Olympic coverage this week, but before we get to that, I’d just like to point out the story about some of the awful Twitter comments that were posted at the Japanese women’s soccer team gold medal loss to the U.S. This is our most popular story at the moment, and many readers are commenting.
